Wabi-Sabi

Traducere și note de Tudora Șandru-Mehedinți Roman de arheologie sentimentalã care ne transportã într-o Japonie senzuală, exotică, plină de contraste, Wabi-Sabi ne dezvãluie nouă, cititorilor, și protagonistului Samuel de Juan, cunoscut din bestsellerul Iubire cu „i“ mic, frumusețea lucrurilor imperfecte și efemere. În Barcelona zilelor noastre, Samuel trăiește o poveste de dragoste cu Gabriela, dar locuiește în apartamentul lui de burlac împreună cu motanul Mishima. În afara cursurilor de germană pe care le predă la universitate, îl ajută ocazional pe Titus, originalul său vecin, la redactarea unor cărți de dezvoltare personală. Într-o dimineață de iunie, primește din Japonia o vedere enigmatică pe care scrie doar: Wabi-Sabi. La îndemnul lui Titus, după ce Gabriela îi anunță sfârșitul legăturii lor, Samuel pleacă într-o călătorie la Kyōto, sperând să dezlege misterul. „Un roman incitant despre frumusețea fragilității.“ (TimeOut Barcelona)

Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie '' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old conc...

Living apart from his girlfriend Gabriela, from whom he seems to have grown gradually distant, university lecturer Samuel is shaken from his humdrum existence when he receives an anonymous postcard from Japan depicting a porcelain figurine of a cat and the words “wabi-sabi”, followed by the unexpected visit at work of a girl trying to identify the language of a strange, haunting song. This sets Samuel on a quest that will take him to the Land of the Rising Sun, not only to discover the meaning of the cryptic message, which may hold the key to some of his unanswered questions, but also to find enlightenment, a new equilibrium and a reappreciation of the small joys of life. Written with Miralles's trademark quirkiness, wit and lightness of touch, Wabi-Sabi will delight the many fans of his internationally best-selling novel Love in Small Letters.
